Recruitment

As for recruitment. Recruitment is the process of attracting individuals on a timely basis, in sufficient numbers and with appropriate qualifications and encouraging them to apply for jobs with an             organization.

So mainly there are two requirement goals:

i) To attract qualified applicants

Recruiting process is used to create the pool of qualified applicants. By qualified applicants I mean that those applicants who are having abilities that are perfect match with the job requirements.

ii) To  discourage non-qualified applicants:

When recruiting is based upon careful designing of the job disruption and job specification most of the applicants having irrelevant qualifications are eliminated from the list of potential applicants which makes recruiting process more effective and easier.

*To be blunt it is to avoid non-qualified applicants.

Constraint of recruitment process

Different factors in internal or external environment can influence the effectiveness of recruiting process in negative manner and can become hurdles in recruiting process.

They mainly include:

i) Image of the organization

If employees behave that their employer deals with them fairly, the positive word-of-mouth support they provide is of great value to the firm. It assists in establishing credibility with prospective employees. Image of the organization is mainly assessed by its performance, salary, benefits provided by it potential opportunities to excel and respect.

Bad reputation is hurdle in acquiring good number of applicants through recruitment process especially if any firm is having business in the declining industry and management is least bothered about the welfare and well being of the employees.

ii) Attractiveness of the job

Attractiveness of the job mainly depends upon its contribution towards achievement of organizations objectives, challenging assignments, its contribution in the career development of the job holder.
Therefore, jobs having challenging assignments, career oriented in nature and having good remuneration package can attract best applicants from the labour force available in the market or vice versa.

iii) Government influence

The recruitment process influenced by the laws provided by the government.
Organizations that want to be more successful are required to work according to these laws.

iv) Recruiting costs

Companies use to bear very high costs while performing the recruitment process especially when the recruitment is external. Therefore organizations can perform this function only if they are having sufficient resources to perform the recruitment process.

v) Labour market influence

The recruitment process is influenced by labour market conditions. When the economy is growing rapidly and unemployment levels are very low, recruiting is extremely difficult.

Ethical issues in recruitment

 Verifies that all job offers to internal and external candidates are within company policy and that any unusual questions regarding employment are referred to the manager in order to ensure fair and equitable treatment of all job candidates.
